Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy has tied with Tems as the Nigerian artist with the second most certified singles in RIAA history, each boasting four certified tracks.
This milestone was reached after his collaborative hit with British Grime star Dave, “Location,” received Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling 500,000 units in the U.S.
Burna Boy’s other certified songs in the U.S. include “Last Last” (Platinum), “Ye” (Gold), and “On The Low” (Gold).
Wizkid remains the top certified Nigerian artist in the U.S. with seven certified singles.
